Z is NOT immune to civil action. The Martin family has every right to file a civil case. How much did the 'Goldman' family get from OJ????? Unless it is just for some possible satisfaction it would be an exercise in futility IMO as Z has nothing to take.

I have seen several mentions of a statute in Florida that prohibits civil suits for wrongful death when the death was ruled justifiable. I don't know if the posts were correct or if being acquitted of the charges means that the death was justified, but in some ways it seems to me that George has about as much cause of action against the Martins as they have against him. After all, had TRAY-VON not attacked him, he wouldn't have been dragged through all this.

Any doctrine that weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.

I'm with you......I'd think he would have a case but who knows. I don't live in Florida so I have no idea whether they have such a statute or not and couldn't even begin to address the pros/cons of having one.......I'll guess that Z would love to have it at this point though.

A recent study found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer then the men who mention it.

No doubt, RK! As long as there is unrest over issues like this the uninformed and intellectually-limited citizens will continue to drink the kool-aid, listen to the lame-streamed media and praise the wonderful job that the obama administration is doing!!

There are a lot of people on Facebook who are getting their knickers in a twist that Z was acquitted. I really wonder how many of them really followed the trial transcripts. It would appear that many on this forum did follow the transcripts.

Do they not realize that they are also encouraging unrest by what they are saying?

Also, I think it's pretty disrespectful of those jurors to malign the verdict they reached. They sat there and listened to every word.

I have only sat on a jury once, and we found the defendant not guilty. We pretty much agreed that he acted dumbly, but not with malice. I'm sure that the family of the alleged victim didn't think much of us.
